36 years ago today on August 18, 1990, Nigel Benn stopped Iran Barkley in the first round of an incredible action packed first round slugfest. Should Benn have been penalized or disqualified for the late hits? I’m surprised they never fought a rematch.

So I’m rewatching the Puello v. Antuanne Russell fight and I’m not sure how anyone could think GAR won. I even heard one of the commentators say GAR won the first four rounds and I honestly don’t see how he barely landed and Pueblo’s counters were landing damn near every time he threw it.

WHAT YALL THINK ? And why?

Alexis Argüello's championship reign is one of the most impressive in boxing history — a three-division champion who dominated featherweight, super-featherweight, and lightweight with devastating precision.

19-3 (17) Knockouts in Major Title Fights.

2 Of Those three losses came against Aaron Pryor — twice (1982, 1983) Argüello never lost a major title fight at featherweight, super-featherweight, or lightweight. Clean sweep through three divisions, then Pryor ended the run retaining his WBA Junior Welterweight crown.
